I’m sure I used to be able to make a selection, and then pan around the canvas with the RMB whilst keeping the selection.  This seems to have broken now, so whenever I pan my selection is cleared.  For the type of large diagrams I’m now working on, this is an issue.

Hi ​@JH-AR, thank you for posting in the Community! 

I was not able to reproduce the behaviour you have described. Could you try opening your board in a private or incognito window to help us narrow down the potential cause? Could you also try connecting to a different network or disconnecting from your VPN (if applicable)? Sometimes performance issues can be related to internet security/speed or browser issues. These steps will help us eliminate that possibility. For help with opening an incognito window, please see this  community post .

Additionally, could you please try with spacebar + click + pan and let me know if the issue persists?

If those don’t resolve the problem, can you please send the following information so I can take a closer look?

  • A screenshot of the issue.
  • What browser do you use and whether you have tried to reproduce this behaviour in various browsers.
  • A screenshot of the associated Javascript Console output after reproducing the issue. You can open your Javascript Console by pressing Ctrl+Shift+J (if your computer is a Windows/Linux) OR Cmd+Opt+J (if your computer is a Mac).

I appreciate your help and patience!
